Garmin Force Nose Cone, For Force Kraken and Force Pro

Overview

The Garmin Force nose cone is a replacement nose cone for compatible Garmin Force family trolling motors, with options for a standard round profile or a built-in transducer mount. It sits on the front of the lower unit where it takes spray, sun, and the occasional dock or trailer bump, so swapping a worn or cracked cone can be as much about protecting what is mounted there as it is about looks.

Transducer-mount versions are sized for specific Garmin GT transducers: the small transducer mount supports GT20, GT22, GT24, GT52, and GT54 models, while the large transducer mount is GT56-compatible. Compatibility varies by nose cone type, so match the option to your trolling motor model and the transducer you plan to run.

Key features

Variants

This product is offered in multiple configurations to match your trolling motor and what you plan to mount on the nose.

Options vary by color and by nose cone type (round, small transducer mount, or large transducer mount). Transducer compatibility and trolling motor compatibility depend on the specific nose cone type listed below.

• 010-12832-23: Color White, Nose Cone Type Round. This profile is used when mounting third-party accessories that clamp at the nose.
• 010-12832-31: Color White, Nose Cone Type Large Transducer Mount. This option is GT56-compatible and is listed for Force Kraken and Force/Force Pro trolling motors.
• 010-12832-22: Color Black, Nose Cone Type Round. This profile is used when mounting third-party accessories that clamp at the nose.
• 010-12832-20: Color Black, Nose Cone Type Small Transducer Mount. This mount supports GT20, GT22, GT24, GT52, and GT54 transducers on compatible Force trolling motors.
• 010-12832-21: Color Black, Nose Cone Type Large Transducer Mount. This option is GT56-compatible and is listed for Force Kraken and compatible Force trolling motors.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm your trolling motor model first, then match the nose cone type to your setup. A round nose cone makes sense when you are using clamp-style mounts at the nose, while the transducer-mount versions are meant for Garmin GT transducers that match the mount size called out for that option.

If you are adding a new transducer and planning to reroute the cable through the trolling motor shaft, plan the cable path before you start. Keeping the cable supported and away from pinch points at the deploy and stow pivot helps prevent intermittent sonar issues later.

Installation and setup

This is a lower-unit hardware swap, not an electrical upgrade. With the trolling motor powered off and supported, remove the existing nose cone, transfer or position the transducer (if applicable), and reinstall the correct nose cone for your configuration. After installation, cycle stow and deploy by hand to confirm nothing binds and the cable has enough slack where it needs it.

Use cases on board

This is a good match for anglers who want a clean way to mount a Garmin GT transducer on a Force-family trolling motor, or for boaters adding clamp-on gear at the nose without changing the rest of the motor. It also makes sense as a straightforward replacement when the original nose cone has been scuffed up from normal dockside handling.
